User blog:Hayds126/Why does this game have so much grinding

Ever since I started playing this game, I have noticed it's harder than most Pokemon games I've played before. Then I realised it's the fact that training your Pokemon is really hard as most wild Pokemon are extremely weak. Now I understand you can't expect them to be as strong as the trainers you fight but honestly it's getting pretty ridiculous.

Most if not all wild Pokemon I find are 20 or even 30 levels lower than the trainers I fight. That's means a lot of grinding. If your very early in the game there isn't any problem and training takes a few minutes. I already noticed the game has noticeably higher levels than in game. By the 5th gym I already had to deal with a lv 57 mega garchomp! That's crazy. In the main series Pokemon games gym leaders had about lv 35 Pokemon. Another problem with this is whenever I see a cool Pokemon I'd want in my team its levels away from being useful at all. Just recently I caught a gible that I wanted on my team. It was only lv 30. And the trainers I faced were level 50. This meant the only way I could train it fast enough was to go and find a trainer that gives good xp and nonstop challenge them. This quickly gets very boring. As a matter of fact my sister just stopped playing the game simply because its that boring. I expected wild Pokemon to be at most 10 levels lower than the trainers I face on the same route.
